Benefits of hiring

a L1 visa lawyer

What is L1 visa?

L-1 visa is referred to the temporary visa

and non-immigrant in nature that is

given to organizations and companies

that look forward to relocate and

transfer their employees to United

States of America (USA) locations or

where the parent company is located.

These employees are only granted with

this type of visa only if they are found

qualified to relocate and work at a

branch office or any other client

location. The tenure of the visa ranges

from a minimum of one year to about

three years.

L-1 visa is granted to a company only if

the parent company, sister company or a

child company is located in USA. These

types of visas are also granted to the

non-profit or charitable organizations.

For many companies, expansion of

business is a gradual process and many

also aspire to open up branches in

foreign locations to attract a diverse set

of customers. For such businesses, it is

important to have employees at the new

branches and work on business

development activities. Such employees,

be it managers or executives should

have knowledge of setting up offices,

operations and business development.

The role of these managers should be in

sync with the goals and mission of the

parent organization and work towards

achieving the same.

There are basically two types of L-1 visa

depending on the designation of the

employees. The employees who are in

the executive and managerial roles are

granted a L-1A visa type whereas

employees who are in the decision

making and supervisor roles are granted

a L-1B visa. The latter type is granted to

the employees with more specialized

roles.

In order to obtain L-1 visas, the company

should show proof of recognized

relationship between the parent

company and the businesses to be done

in USA. The company must also show

proof of having done business in another

foreign location or in any other part of

USA already.

United States Citizenship and

Immigration Services (USCIS), a part of

the United States Department of

Homeland Security (DHS) provide

information to the potential customers,

grant immigration along with citizenship

benefits and promote awareness about

the rules and regulations of citizenship in

the country.

The USCIS closely monitors the L-1 visa

applications to avoid any fraudulent

cases, especially in cases of smaller or

less-known organizations that plan to

open up offices in USA. Herein, it is

highly recommended to take advice

from experienced immigration lawyers

or attorneys and understand the rules

properly prior to applying for the same.
